APPLICATION INFORMATION
• When applied correctly, Contans WG will reduce inoculum loads of Sclerotinia sclerotia and hyphae in the soil and
on crop residues.
• Apply Contans WG to the soil prior to planting, or at planting, or after crop emergence, or at time of transplant, or
postharvest.
• Apply Contans WG prior to disease infection to obtain optimal efficacy.
• Use higher application rates when the weather conditions are expected to be conducive for disease development,
if the field has a history of disease development, if disease pressure is high, if Sclerotinia minor is present, or if
minimum/low/no-till programs are in place.
• Apply Contans WG directly to the soil surface and incorporate into the soil mechanically, by water irrigation, or by
timely rainfall into the upper 1 to 2 inches of soil soon after application, when possible. Timely incorporation is very
important in warm, dry climates such as the Western US.
• Contans WG must be applied directly to the soil surface, plant parts, and plant debris that eventually will have contact
to the soil surface to become effective in attacking the white mold sclerotia and/or hyphae.
• Apply Contans WG when soil temperatures will remain below 81°F for 7 days.
• Contans WG is less effective in soils with temperatures below 50ºF and over 81ºF.
• Apply Contans WG to moist soil or growth media, but not to saturated or waterlogged soil. Soil or growth media
must remain moist after Contans WG application to provide adequate control of soil-born fungal diseases listed on
this label.
• In case of applications on or to dry soils, pre-irrigate until soil is moist. Then irrigate again immediately after
application to incorporate product into the top 1 to 2 inches of soil.
• If the upper layer of Contans WG treated soil is disturbed after application (i.e. crop thinning, or cultivation which
brings untreated sclerotia from lower soil layers to the top soil layer and disrupts the Contans WG hyphae growth
process), a follow-up treatment of Contans WG is required.
• When Contans WG is applied to sterilized or fumigated soil, it must be applied after the sterilizing agent or fumigant
has dissipated.
• Contans WG has no curative effect and therefore is not effective against plants infected with disease at the time of
application.
• For maximum effectiveness, make 2 or more applications of Contans WG. Repeated use throughout the rotation may
increase long term efficacy due to reduction of the pathogen.
• Apply the higher rate when known Sclerotinia minor exists in the soil.
• Contans WG is applied directly to the soil surface, using conventional spray equipment.
• Thorough and uniform broadcast or banded spray coverage in crop on the soil next to the plant stem, on plant parts
that will eventually contact the soil next to the plant stem, or on postharvest crop residue, where plant infection occurs
is required to provide effective disease control.
• For ground broadcast and band applications, apply Contans WG as a spray at a minimum volume of 10 gallons of
water per acre prior to, at planting, just after planting, after transplant, or postharvest. Maintain agitation during spray
operation. Thorough and uniform coverage of the soil surface is necessary. Incorporate Contans WG soon after
application, using either light cultivation or by watering in using sufficient water to wet the upper 1 to 2 inches of soil.
• For application by air, apply Contans WG as a spray at a minimum volume of 2 gallons of water per acre prior to, at
planting, just after planting, after transplant, or postharvest. When using very low water spray volumes, pre-slurry
the Contans WG in water to disperse the product before adding to the spray tank. Maintain agitation during spray
operation. Thorough and uniform coverage of the soil surface is necessary. Incorporate Contans WG soon after
application, using either light cultivation or by watering in using sufficient water to wet the upper 1 to 2 inches of soil.
• When applying Contans WG post harvest and prior to replant of a susceptible crop, use a rate of 1 to 2 lbs per
acre per application to soil after crop harvest. Allow adequate growing season time and/or soil temperature for
Contans WG to remain actively growing to colonize and infect Sclerotinia sclerotia.
• Apply Contans WG to minimum-till or no-till fields, or postharvest to soil with plant debris. Contans® WG efficacy
will be increased when product access to the soil is enabled by minimizing plant residue on the soil surface as much
as possible before applying. This will allow for greater efficiency of the product to reduce inoculum loads of soil-born
Sclerotinia sclerotia in the soil.
CHEMIGATION INSTRUCTIONS
Application through sprinkler: Contans WG may be applied through sprinkler (overhead) systems either pre-plant or to crop
stubble on lighter textured soils (sandy loams - sand) at a rate appropriate to the crop as above. If applied in this manner, irrigate
with enough water to saturate the soil to a depth of at least 4 inches. Generally 3/4 -1 inch of water will be enough for a good
incorporation of Contans WG. If followed by tillage, do not disturb the soil below the treated soil layer (approximately 2 inches).
Root & Tuber Vegetables: Arracacha, arrowroot, artichoke (Chinese, Jerusalem), beet (garden, sugar), edible burdock, edible canna, carrot, cassava (bitter, sweet),
celeriac, chayote (root), turnip-rooted chervil, chicory, chufa, dasheen (taro), ginger, ginseng, horseradish, leren, turnip-rooted parsley, parsnip, potato, radish (including
oriental), rutabaga, salsify (including black, Spanish), skirret, sweet potato, tanier, turmeric, turnip, yam bean, true yam, cultivars, varieties, and/or hybrids of these
Mixing instructions: A supply tank is recommended. Mix Contans WG in the supply tank to a concentration appropriate to
cover the intended acreage in one pass (example: 40 acres at 2 lbs per acre will require 80 pounds in the supply tank). Agitation
will be required for mixing and maintaining the suspension of the spores of the active agent in the injection solution. All of the
Contans WG should be applied in one pass of the irrigation system.
Apply this product only through the following types of systems: sprinkler including center pivot, lateral move, side (wheel) roll
irrigation systems. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system.
Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated
water.
If you have questions about calibration of your irrigation system, you should contact your State Extension Service specialists,
equipment manufacturers or other experts.
A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation or under the supervision of the
responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise.
Chemigation Using Public Water Systems
Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a public water system
unless the pesticide label prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place.
Public water systems means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human consumption if such system has
at least 15 service connections or regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year.
Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone, back flow
preventer (RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As
an option to the RPZ, the water from the public water system should be discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide
introduction. There shall be a complete physical break (air gap) between the flow outlet end of the fill pipe and the top or
overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe.
The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid
back toward the injection.
The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side
of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when
the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.
The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water
pump motor stops, or in cases where there is no water pump, when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide
distribution is adversely affected.
Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g. diaphragm pump) effectively
designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
Chemigation Using Sprinkler Irrigation Systems
The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain appropriately located on the
irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from back flow.
The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid
back toward the injection pump.
The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake
side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank
when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.
The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the
water pump motor stops.
The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the water pump motor when the
water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g. diaphragm pump) effectively
designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
